Godswill Akpabio, Senate minority leader, has commited himself to construct a new hostel for the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University in Igbariam, Anambra State.

Mr Akpabio annouced the plans while delivering a convocation lecture “The Nigerian Question: Ethics in an Age of Uncertainty” at the Chukwuemeka Odu­megwu Ojukwu University (COOU) formerly Anam­bra State University on Thursday.

A former governor of Akwa Ibom urged Nigerian leaders to uphold ethics and morality as part of efforts to curb corruption in the country and advised to stop cross-carpeting as such behaviour demonstrates their personal greed and indifference to the entrusted constituencies.

Besides, Mr Akpabio commended the Buhari-led adminstration for fighting corruption but stressed that it should intensify its scrutiny and do it across the board. He also assured that the National Assembly members would continue maintaining ethical and good moral behaviour while creating laws in the interest of the nation.
